Well, I guess I should start this by saying I just reactivated my account and saw my profile name is ducksfan? I'll be honest, that opinion's wavered big time lately.

Ok, so I just paid for this so I should write something other then my previously lame "just checking this out." So what to say... I really don't know what to make of these sites so if you feel like talking me into being a fan, I'm down with that. Let's see, here's what I guess you should know about me:

*I just moved to Hawai'i and I couldn't be happier about it. I live in Waikiki and teach on the Leeward side. I love everything about it. I love the people I meet, my students, and everything about how I got here. Good times!

*I love running. Love it. Lovvvvvve it. And hiking. Hiking in Hawai'i makes me wonder if I'm already dead and have made it into heaven.

* I'm pretty open-minded. As a teacher I see all sorts of people in all sorts of circumstances and can't help but like most of the people I meet.

* I was raised by parents who are very, very smart and bookish, but who are very down to earth, outdoorsy, and fix-it-yourself car-people types and definitely remember their blue collar roots. I love both of those worlds.

* I'm incredibly playful and silly. Which works well in the classroom. Greatly enjoy laughing y'all.

Ok... well, I've said more than "hi." I'll try to add in fireworks and jazz hands later.
